Blogging isn't a fad. It's mighty big.

I hate to be out of touch with the blog world, but competitions restrain me. Here are some updates from the blogosphere.

International:

Read about how blog count is doubling every five months. The article says "70,000 new blogs are created everyday--that's one a minute". And there are 1 million posts a day tracked by Technorati. Wow!

CNET has an article on the decision that Bloggers won't be deemed as journalists. I wonder why since some of the bloggers like instapundit.com has a huge following, probably more than many small newspapers. If updating people is the motto, shouldn't bloggers and media work in tandem?

India:

Check out what I guess is the biggest blog war in Indian blogosphere. Every miniscule angle has been vetted in and out. But Chandoo feels bloggers have been one-sided and has a completely alternate take on this issue.

With sites such as Desipundit aggregating the best of Indian blogs, has Indian blogosphere come of age?
